D-Day 1944 (3) by Ken Ford

During the Allied landings in Normandy, Sword Beach was the responsibility of the British 3rd Division. This text looks at how congestion on the Beach allowed the German forces time to react, preventing Caen from being taken on the first day, where much blood was shed before it finally fell.

He now spends his time as an author and a bookseller specialising in military history. He has written a number of books on various Second World War subjects. Ken now lives in Southampton.
